They Fight Crime

A friend of mine posted this link on Facebook.

It is so much fun! Here's a little flavor of what you'll find...

He's a one-legged coffee-fuelled jungle king searching for his wife's true killer. She's a green-fingered communist stripper from Mars. They fight crime!

He's a leather-clad crooked romance novelist on a mission from God. She's a time-travelling belly-dancing hooker on her way to prison for a murder she didn't commit. They fight crime!

"Ripped:how the wired generation revolutionized music"

An interesting take on digital media. Picked it up with out realizing it was written by one half of the excellent podcast http://www.soundopinions.org/. This is more from the artist side. Not quite a how to manual as much as this how some artist has used the Internet. Author Greg Kot doesn't really take strong moral positions although he does seem to think of it as downloading as "stealing" and he definitely comes across as the critic who knows more than you, at least musical taste-wise. But in an industry searching for answers, he's looking too and doesn't claim to have figured it out. Really a collection of stories of how individual artist are looking at/using the Interent and how the business is trying to cope. It was interesting to get the back stories, say Metallica's view on the Napster incident, looking back. All in all, an interesting read.

Of course, I got it from the library and you can try there, too. Does that count as stealing? Or just irony?

Boycott Hansen's Natural Drinks/Monster! Save Real Beer

His language is a little over the top (stuff about "corporate America"), but Monster Energy is out of line here. So buy a Rock Art, not Monster Energy Drinks. This guy has always had Libertarian leanings so a good guy who deserves our support. Plus Rock Art is a great beer. I might go crack the Vermonster int he basement right now!

BTW Hansen's products include Hansen's natural soda, Junior Juice, teas, Blue Sky and Fizzit and, of course, Monster Energy notes.
